(I know because I took local trains from Tokyo back to my home in Wakayama, and it took over 14 hours, and switching trains at least 6 times.)
damn. 12+ hours... I see, thanks for that, i didn't realise it was THAT long! i thought maybe, max would have been 8 hours or something (ie, only double the time of a bullet train)!!!
